Hospitality Law

Introduction

companies have to comply with.
• Hospitality companies have to comply with local laws while
operating their business overseas to avoid legal consequences.
• There are many similarities and differences between Canadian
and Indian Hospitality laws.

Employment Law
• The Employment Standards Act 2000 governs the employer-
employee relationship in Canada; whereas, the Factories Act
1948 provides employment provision in India.
• In both countries, employees can only work for 48 hours a
week and this time period can extend by an contract for which
employees receive additional pay ILO, n.d.).
• In Canada’s hospitality industry, employees works maximum
13 hours a day even in multiple shift; however, in India,
employees work for 9 hours a day or 10 ½ hours in case of
multiple shifts (Labour, 2016).
